Diversity within the workforce is an economic necessity.

According to consulting firm McKinsey, companies in the top quartile for gender diversity are 15 percent more likely to achieve financial results above their respective national industry medians, and for ethnic diversity, that likelihood rises to 35 percent.

SAP has also recognized this: New SuccessFactors HCM Suite features are designed to help organizations around the world identify and avoid unconscious bias.

These include the Diversity & Inclusion e-book and a machine learning-based sentiment analysis of job descriptions.

Enhanced calibration includes analysis of diversity rules in SuccessFactors Performance & Goals. A new mentoring feature in Career & Development Planning ranks appropriate mentors by skills and competencies to ensure equitable and inclusive mentoring, and is used to document relationships between mentors and mentees.
